Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

They can be outsourced right NOW

The CEO/BOD - all those 'leaders' can be outsourced right now. It would save on the salaries and corporate taxes for their bloated salaries.

There are many overseas 'consulting' companies that have teams that can do the same jobs - and probably do it better, while delighting the customer and shareholders. If various technology/support groups can be outsourced - no reason why the bloated fat cats can't also be.

The shareholders win as a huge bloated chunk of change isn't allocated for the golden parachutes, but instead invested in the company itself. Don't believe the crybabies when they say 'they have to be in the US' to offer their leadership knowledge to just get their executive bonuses for slurping coffee.

Cut the fat, have some leaders with knowledge run the company.

@br You don't even need a computer. A Magic-8 Ball couldn't have tanked this company any worse.

But without the C-suites, who will drive an otherwise productive company into a death spiral, ki-ling value and usefulness of the product?

You don't even need to burn the compute resources using an LLM. You can make a simple random buzzword phrase generator and fire it off whenever you need to hear a CEO's thoughts.

"Let's make it more efficient to increase the synergy for our customers and do a digital transformation initiative."

Just start cataloging all those phrases and encode them into a simple database. No need to waste the compute. They aren't worth it.

CEOs and C levels, can't be replaced by an AI. No matter how relevant or efficient the AI is. Laws here in the US are written and bought by ... [ drum roll ] CEOs.
For a company entity to exists, a person CEO has to be in place, not a machine. Specifically Delaware where Verizon is incorporated. So, unless the political picture changes ( lol - will it ever ?!) nothing will change.

I always felt that of all the jobs that an LLM would be perfect for, CEO must be at the top of the list.
What you produce needs to sound like an answer to the question, it doesn't need to be factually correct or consistent or meaningful - just spout was thousands of other CEOs have said before you. That is the perfect place for an LLM.
And while token prices are going crazy, that's still way cheaper than the $30M + $150M upside that we are wasting on Dannyboy.

I take it you're based overseas, and that you're a consultant? We tried going overseas for leadership. Been there, done that.
